Pizza Time!!

Last night Rich had a service project he had to go to. He was gone all evening so Joey and I decided it would be fun to make pizza for dinner. Joey loves to cook so I knew he would have a great time. I had been given some pre-made pizza crusts so all we had to do was add the sauce and the toppings and bake them.


First I gave Joey is pizza crust and put some sauce on it for him. I gave him a spoon and told him to spread it around. That kid spread, and spread, and spread. When I told him ok Joey you did good, he said, "no mom its not done yet." The only way I got him to quit spreading is by offering him some cheese and toppings to put on it.





He put A LOT of toppings on his pizza! Cheese, cheese and more cheese, a TON of pepperoni and some olives. Actually he did really well, in the olive department. It was the funniest thing, after he put the toppings on he said very matter of factly, "Mom, give me some more of that BBQ sauce!" I laughed and said, "honey thats not BBQ sauce its pizza sauce."

Between what ended up on the pizza and what

he ate, we used a lot of cheese!

"Its gonna be the best pizza ever!"

I made me a nice vegetarian pizza of course, cheese, olives, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts. For pizza it wasn't too bad! We baked them and while they baked I cleaned up the kitchen. Its funny, I was trying to not have a lot of dishes to do so I was using foil and paper plates. I even gave Joey a plastic spoon to spread the sauce with. I don't think it really mattered because my floor was such a mess from making pizza I had to mop when we were done.

We sat down to eat together, just the two of us. It was really nice we don't get to do that enough! He ate sooooo good, I need to let him make his dinner more often!
